Hey guys,

I have an idea for a website that I'm planning. It's going to be in the food/recipe niche, kinda similar to websites like Allrecipes and Epicurious but obviously not as big. It's a unique take on recipe sites that literally hasn't been done yet.

I know there's a huge demand for it and that if I pull it off correctly, it has the potential to become a 7-fig business.

I'm f*ckin excited about but I have one problem - I don't really know how to cook.

I know this shouldn't be a barrier for me, and I plan to have users on the site contribute meals as well, but how am I suppose to upload food pics and recipes if I don't even have the basic cooking skills. Am I supposed to just learn? Do sites like Allrecipes have professional chefs working for them?

Thanks

P.S. I might reveal my idea, but right now I'm just paranoid that someone might steal it. But if someone guesses correctly, I'll reveal it.
